Wickenburg Sunset Linda Rupard

This is a sunset over the mountains near Wickenburg AZ I did while we were there.  Second photo is my workshop painting I did in Diane's class from one of  her photos.    Both are done on Arches cold press 300 lb. paper.   Third photo,  we  were setting on this  outside balcony of a Sedona restaurant having an ice cream cone looking out at the beautiful colorful mountains.  Really an awesome place especially  for artist  you just have to paint or snap a photo.

Copper & Poppies Linda Rupard

This is a watercolor on Archs paper 22 X 30.   Painted from a still life set up  that I had painted before.  I changed this one up because I only had the drawing & not the set up.   I like this one much better.  This cute little Baby Burro was in Earp CA Mama was close by.   I have to paint this little guy soon.
Hope everyone is staying warm & cozy .

Da Vinci Exhibit Linda Rupard

Met these new friends in Earp CL when we were there.   We have been there before & had never seen the wild Burros.  This time we saw maybe 50 Burros ,  this was on different days so could have been seeing some of them more then once.  It was so neat to see all the Mothers with babies  and all the different sizes & colors.
  While in Parker AZ we saw a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit & it was awsome
Both paintings and wonderful reproductions of his inventions.  Paintings were reproduced on canvas & looked like the real thing.  Most of the inventions were working models  and some could be activated by hand.

Celebrating Flowers Linda Rupard

This is a large painting I have been working on  for quite some time.   My inspiration for this painting was  the paintings of   Guiseppe Arcimboldo who  was a 16th century artist who painted portrait heads made from such objects as flowers, fruit, fish, vegetables, pans and other items that related to  each subjects work.    This is an acrylic painting on cradleboard canvas.   30 X 30  ready to hang with sides matching the paintings.
